YOUR ledger page at the bank* may be a cold, dry record of columns and columns of figures. Or—it may be a vital, interesting, human record of your financial progress. That depends on the bank. Here your account is the story of your life—your achievements and your successes—written by yourself and your friends. Be-
cause we are your friends. Do you know the scope of a bank’s service? Do you know the many intimate ways in which your bank can touch your life?* To the savings department come men, women
and children, to be greeted with a smile of friendly interest, to put a portion of their earnings in a safe place against some future time when their need will be greater than now. Here at this window some great fortune of the future has its beginning. Here, .-the regular practice of the humble virtue, thrift, makes happier years to come a certainty.

concerns transact their financial business. Successful firms patronize a successful bank. A good banking connection is a business asset. Business men exact an unusual kind of service from their bank—and get it here. In the insurance department, people pay their insignificant premiums and are spared staggering losses when fire, accident, storm and catastrophe come.

bond department for wise counsel on ments. A banker’s advice has prevented years of want and misery through the unwise purchase of “blue sky” investments. Bankers know.
The trust department assumes the management of property left to others, when the hands that earned it can guard it no more. Safe, sane management secures for the inheritors the fullest benefit of their heritage. In the great vault, protected by every safeguard, individual lock boxes keep personal values safe. * The officers’ offices in this bank are out in front. The officers are approachable men. They like to advise , serve, help. Banking a cold, impersonal business? Not on your life! It is a living, vital, friendly
business, intimately bound up with human progress and happiness. Its records are stories of life. Because that is the way we look upon our business. We make it human and friendly. It is the way we serve. And because this is that kind of bank, we have grown from resources of less than two million dollars six years ago, to more than four million dollars today. We have had to double our effective capacity by beautiful remodeling of our whole quarters—to serve you better .
TO SERVE you better, our banking rooms have been enlarged. Perhaps you’ve never inspected our real estate, insurance, directors’ rooms, vaults and ladles’ rest rooms on our basement floor.
